The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Improved Solid-State Neutron Detector

    SBC: AGILTRON, INC.            Topic: 37a

    Improved methods of neutron detection are needed not only for nuclear physics research but also for international control of weapons and neutron based therapies in medical applications. He-3 tube-based neutron detectors and planar solid-state neutron detectors are the two currently available technologies for thermal neutron detection. Although He-3 tube-based neutron detectors have efficiencies ...

  2. A Bioactive Prosthetic Vascular Graft

    SBC: BIOSURFACES INC            Topic: N/A

    DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over 60,000 prosthetic grafts, which are comprised of either polyethylene terephthalate (polyester) or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), are implanted in the United States each year. Medium (6-8mm) and small (l t5mm) internal diameter (I.D.) prosthetic arterial grafts continue to have unacceptably high failure rates when used in the clinical setting. T ...

  3. Compact and Efficient Cold and Thermal Neutron Collimators

    SBC: NOVA SCIENTIFIC INCORPORATED            Topic: 37a

    New neutron radiographic imaging facilities at the Spallation Neutron Source will require detectors with better position resolution and rate capability than available with existing technologies. This project will develop a novel type of compact thermal neutron collimator for these detectors. These compact collimators can be employed to effectively reduce post scattered neutrons arriving at the d ...

  4. H-PDLC Tunable Filter for Hyperspectral Imaging

    SBC: Optra, Inc.            Topic: 44b

    Hyperspectral Imaging ,HIS, provides a means for detecting weapons of mass destruction. A core element of a HSI system is a tunable wavelength filter. There is a need for faster tunable wavelength filters than those that currently exist in practice. To address this need, this project will develop a tunable wavelength filter based on a holgraphically-formed, polymer-dispersed liquid crystal, HPD ...

  5. Endoscopically-guided optical coherence tomography for early cancer screening

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: N/A

    DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal addresses a need for an improved technology for early cancer detection and rapid screening. Recent advances in nanotechnology and high resolution imaging have led to the development of new investigative t ools capable of probing biological tissues at the cellular level. These tools can be used to localize abnormal neoplastic cells and expedite th ...

  6. Enhanced Contrast Imaging for Screening of Early Pancreatic Cancer

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: N/A

    DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal addresses a real need for an improved technology for early detection and rapid screening of ductal pancreatic cancer. Very recent advances in nanotechnology and high resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging have led to the development of new investigative tools capable of probing biological tissues at the cellular level. These tools ...

  7. The Global Monitor Platform: Addressing Uncertainty in the Price of Carbon Credits with Improved Isotopic Monitoring

    SBC: Planetary Emissions Management Inc.            Topic: 16b

    The value of traded financial instruments used to comply with greenhouse gas emissions reached 29 billion dollars in 2006, yet pricing for carbon credits has remained volatile and uncertain, in part due to an incomplete understanding of the carbon cycle at local, regional, and global scales. Monitoring CO2 concentrations is critical to quantifying carbon fluxes e.g., sequestration per sink; deseq ...

  8. The Crystal Optimizer: Kinetic Control of Protein Crystallization

    SBC: RAINDANCE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Protein crystallization remains a bottleneck in the goal to determine the protein's structure. A microfluidic device denoted the Crystal Optimizer (XOpt) has been developed to optimize the kinetic pathway for the nuclea tion and growth of protein crystals once the lead conditions have been identified by other screening methods. The device drives each of hundred ...

  9. Fully Compensated Dynamic Shim System for In Vivo MRI and MRS

    SBC: RESONANCE RESEARCH INC            Topic: N/A

    DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Functional MRI, diffusion MRI and MR spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging have great potential for the study and diagnosis of disease and injury, and guiding surgical therapy. All of these methods benefit greatly fro m the added sensitivity, resolution and contrast from high field strength magnets (3T and above). However, the advantages of higher magnetic fi ...

  10. A Novel Approach to Microbe-Base Ethanol Production, GTL:and Related Biotechnologies

    SBC: SunEthanol Incorporated            Topic: 15c

    The development of commercially-viable, cellulosic ethanol biofuels technology has emerged as a national priority. However, the crystalline structure of cellulose constitutes a major barrier to the efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable polymers and sugars, with significant effects on conversion rates. This project will pair an organism, Clostridium phytofermentans, which ...
